This needs to be shouted from rooftops. Emotional ideologies run strong in mankind, and a big dose of empirical thinking would solve nearly all of our species' problems. Technically, most of our problems are surmountable. However, our collective behaviors due to our evolutionary instincts are leading us to ruin. I often find that if a young student's first teachings are in science, they will forever grow up to be empirically minded. Sadly, our education systems are more about indoctrination in national propaganda than any kind of quest for knowledge. Such is the sad state of mankind [1][2]. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1cNaFG1VII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1cNaFG1VII 2. https://youtu.be/WnAQQ4StnEg https://youtu.be/WnAQQ4StnEg
